Frank Lampard is sitting behind a small table in a small room and is poking a bit of fun at himself. Superstitions? Yeah, he’s had a few. ‘Yeah I used to,’ Lampard laughs. ‘I used to eat the same meal in the same proportions and then walk the dog the same walk, the same laps of the park. I had a certain order of putting my boots on and putting my kit on. ‘But it became really consuming because then you lose or play badly and you reboot a few of them and then it becomes a continuing nonsense. ‘Having said that, I still retain a few of them in my own way here but I am trying to get them out of my head because it can make life
Bobby Wagner’s tenure in Washington isn’t over yet. The veteran middle linebacker and heart of the Commanders’ defense has agreed on a contract for next season, according to a person with knowledge of the move. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal had not yet been announced. Set to turn 35 this summer, Wagner led the Commanders with 132 tackles during the regular season and was named to his 10th Pro Bowl. He made 25 more during their playoff run as the centerpiece of a much-improved defense. The well-respected veteran keyed a unit that went from last in the league before he and several newcomers arrived to finish 13th under first-year coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. ‘He’s a
Arsenal are plotting ahead of the summer transfer window, with Bayern Munich and Germany star Joshua Kimmich among the names to be linked with a move to the Emirates Andrea Berta is the favourite to become Arsenal’s new sporting director ( Image: David S. Bustamante/Soccrates/Getty Images) February was filled with doom and gloom for Arsenal but so far March has been different story. The Gunners found their goalscoring grove again on Wednesday, pulling off a 7-1 win away to PSV Eindhoven. The result set a new Champions League record and means that Mikel Arteta’s men already have one foot firmly in the quarter-finals. Speaking of looking forward, the summer transfer window is edging closer, as is the conclusion of Arsenal’s hunt for a new sporting director. Andrea Berta is the
Let’s get this out of the way first: the court design at the Big 12 women’s basketball tournament is awful, atrocious, distracting and ridiculous. The floor in Kansas City, Missouri, was designed through a partnership with “Undefeated Inc.” which bills itself as an “authentic lifestyle brand and sneaker store inspired by sports, art, music and street culture.” And this is what they came up with, a basketball court that looks like a wildly bad game of tic-tac-toe. It makes Oregon’s court look normal. It’s unclear what the Big 12 and this brand were going for here, but it’s not good. It pales in comparison to the colorful design at the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina. But reader, I’m asking you to ignore this appalling hardwood design for a moment.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (91), left, and Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (94) celebrate a sack in the second quarter during a Week 16 NFL game against the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Dec. 26, 2021, at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson received permission to seek a trade one year after the Cincinnati front office shot down the same request. Hendrickson, 30, led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024 and has one year remaining on a contract extension he signed in 2023 with a base salaary of $15.8 million for 2025. As part of a trade, Hendrickson is expected to sign a new contract given the lack of negotiations helped spark his latest demand. Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby signed a record three-year
Football managers usually get sacked when clubs get desperate. At Manchester United, it may be the other way round. United are desperate, all right. Desperate not to go back to square one. Desperate not to have to start all over again. Desperate not to admit they’ve got it wrong once more. It’s all this that stands in favour of Ruben Amorim and a stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer. What it’s not in his favour – so far at least – is the football. Sometimes it’s worth writing some truths down, or saying them out loud, to believe and appreciate their sheer gravity. This is where we are with United. Amorim’s team are unfathomably poor to the point where we are almost immune to it and accepting of it.
Lamont Roach Jnr delivered a performance oozing with confidence in his near upset of Gervonta “Tank” Davis last Saturday night, and as he awaits justice from their controversial majority draw, he again feels things will fall in his favor. In an exclusive conversation with BoxingScene on Thursday, Roach, 25-1-2 (10 KOs), said he both expects Davis to embrace the option for a rematch in their contract while also believing the New York State Athletic Commission will provide a fair response to the events that transpired in the ninth round at Barclays Center. “I hope a rematch happens sooner rather than later. Everybody’s still talking about the fight, and it’s five days later,” Roach said. “It’s been a huge spectacle, a topic of discussion – the review by the commission and

By JACK BEZANTS Published: 19:53 EST, 6 March 2025 | Updated: 20:23 EST, 6 March 2025 The wife of Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ben Cleveland has seemingly responded to claims that she cheated on the troubled NFL star with a cryptic Instagram post. Cleveland, who was recently arrested for DUI in Georgia, has filed for divorce from his wife of nearly three years after saying she hadn’t been faithful to him. Now, as per TMZ, Kaitlyn Terrell Cleveland appeared to indirectly respond to the allegations by sharing song lyrics on her Instagram story from the Kelsea Ballerini song ‘Interlude’. The lyrics read: ‘The rumors goin’ ’round, but the truth is kinda nuanced. I wanna set it straight, but my lawyer says I shouldn’t.’ She has since set her social media
Emma Raducanu will begin a trial period with Slovakian coach Vladimir Platenik when she plays her first-round match at Indian Wells on Thursday. The 49-year-old was coaching Lulu Sun when the New Zealand qualifier beat Raducanu in the fourth round of Wimbledon last July. Platenik worked with compatriot Dominika Cibulkova when she reached the semi-finals of the French Open in 2009, and has also coached Russians Daria Kasatkina and Veronika Kudermetova. Loughborough Academy coach Tom Welsh agreed to join Raducanu for Indian Wells, but that was billed as a one-off arrangement. Raducanu, who has been without a permanent coach since Nick Cavaday stood down for health reasons after January’s Australian Open, plays Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima in her opening Indian Wells match. “I don’t want to rush into anything, but I’m

College basketball is receiving the bulk of attention in collegiate sports right now, with both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments right around the corner. But things are starting to heat up on the diamonds as well, as both baseball and softball seasons are getting into gear. On Tuesday the George Mason baseball team hosted Holy Cross for the final game of an eight-game homestand at Spuhler Field in Fairfax, Virginia. Left-hander Ty Uchman was on the bump for the Patriots, who looked to improve on their 7-4 record against the 5-4 Crusaders. Not only did George Mason get the win on Tuesday in Fairfax, they set a new NCAA record along the way. The game began innocently enough as Uchman set the Crusaders down in order in the first
